I am practicing in the Nianghua Warring States Period

Beidou Xinwei chopped off the head of an enemy general with one sword, and then rode on his horse and directly picked up the monk general and flew him into the air, beheading him with one sword!

"Ahhhhh!——" Suddenly, another enemy general rushed over. Because he was too short, he had to jump up and chop at Beidou Xinwei who was riding a horse.

Beidou Xinwei's eyes showed enough contempt. In front of everyone, he stretched out his left hand and grabbed the enemy general's right hand holding the knife, and broke the opponent's hand with a light bend.

Then he threw him into the air and grabbed his neck.

"Let me go! Let me go... cough cough cough..."

The enemy general whose neck was strangled was strangled. Beidou Xinwei grabbed the enemy general's neck and kept slashing with the knife in his right hand.

This can no longer be considered human!

At this moment, 80 cavalrymen surrounded the army of nearly 5,000 people and charged repeatedly.

at this time.

A new army appeared on the distant horizon.

Beidou family’s infantry reinforcements have arrived!

"All troops, attack with all your might! Charge!!!"

Chapter 208 Avi, save me!

After the infantry joined the battlefield, the situation of the entire battle changed from Beidou Xinwei leading the cavalry into the enemy formation to delay time as much as possible.

It became a grueling battle, with infantry and cavalry coordinating and intervening, with infantry intervening. The encirclement was already forming, and the desperate, panicked, and desperately employed, constricting tactics made the entire battlefield incredibly narrow. Furthermore, Beidou Xinwei specifically targeted isolated and slow-moving peripheral units, resulting in a tighter siege. With over 4,000 enemy troops trapped in an area the size of two football fields, the infantry intervened.

The dense formation was inflexible, and after over 2,000 Beidou Clan troops arrived on the battlefield, they launched into battle in formation. On the battlefield, the densely packed enemy and our standard formation surprisingly had the same tactical depth! The enemy's numerical advantage was completely useless against the lower-level soldiers.

The Hokuto Army, as if assisted by a god, quickly completed the attack in a place without any deviation from the terrain. The coordination between the ashigaru was as tacit as if they had been comrades for ten years, and they were well-trained and worked like a precision machine.

"Oh my god... Is Beidou's army so strict?!" The enemy general, Honma Yoriaki, groaned in agony, watching his own army, like building materials in a warehouse, helplessly manipulated by the enemy's will. The battle was on the verge of collapse, and the monks and soldiers could only chant Buddhist mantras to boost their crumbling morale. "Why... why are the enemy troops so uniform? How is this training done? No, it can't be! This man trains his troops like the reincarnation of Wu Hou, and possesses the same martial prowess as Lü Bu..."

Indeed, Zhuge Liang's greatest strength was his prowess in virtually every area, including his command of the military. In Zhuge Liang's biography, the prime minister seized the opportunity to smother Sima Xuanwang, a lifelong aggressor and a master of farts. His exceptional military command, despite his inferior numbers, enabled the Shu army to defeat the well-prepared Sima Yi to such a climax that he would never again dare to confront Zhuge Liang, even if he was a young man behind closed doors. He would rather outmaneuver Sima Yi than engage in battle.

Of course, the Book of Jin says that Sima Yi did not lose but returned with a great victory, but the biographical evidence of others all point to: No, you lost, Comrade Chen Shou tried his best.

This epic military discipline, which trained the troops so uniformly that they looked like one person, plunged the Japanese native monk General Homma Yoriaki, who had fought for his entire life, into a desperate fear.

Is it true that studying abroad in Ming Country will bring such a big change?

...Well, the "Total War System" allows all soldiers under Beidou Xinwei's control to follow the same orders. After all, the soldier models are similar -

"I'm here, I'm here! Namo Amitabha! Namo Amitabha! Do not retreat! Stay close to me!!!" Honma Raiaki, his voice nearly hoarse, commanded his troops with a clamor. However, he found his troops dwindling with the blow, the entire formation seemingly on the verge of collapse. Furthermore, while the cavalry led by Beidou Xinwei had rested, Beidou Xinwei himself was like a wild dog in heat who had taken Viagra, his energy seemingly boundless! After a charge, he only needed a few breaths to rejoin the battle.

"Run for your life!"

"Ah! Oh my god! Help!"

The cries of grief and wailing soon overwhelmed the chanting of Buddha's name. After the monks and soldiers could no longer contain the believers' rout, a chain reaction occurred.

Originally, Beidou Xinwei was unable to break into the heavy enemy formation, but now the enemy army was completely shaken - he didn't even need to make any more efforts.

The cry of "Run for your lives" had spread throughout the entire enemy battlefield, and the Ikko clan's troops were completely defeated - they fled to the east, north, and west, but no one went to the south.

Because going south is to reinforce the siege of Oda Nobuhime, and also to have a passionate interaction with Beidou Nobumi Part 2! Only a fool would continue to fight him!

"No need to pursue excessively!"

Beidou Xinwei wiped the blood from his body, his armor even torn in several places. This battle was even more dangerous than the one at Okehazama—because this "Mount & Blade" tactic was too ridiculous.

He led the cavalry to buy time for the infantry! If it weren't for his incredible stats, he would have been stabbed to death many times.

Riding back to his own army, he shouted to his servant, Maeda Keiji, "Keiji! Take your men and disperse any troops that may have gathered. No matter what, in three hours, regroup and march south again to meet me!"

"Yes! My lord!" Looking at the army fleeing in all directions on the battlefield.

Maeda Keiji felt a bit discouraged. The Hokuto clan had always fought annihilation battles, killing as many as possible. However, this time, in order to strategically support Oda Nobuhime, they had to stop at the level of a rout after defeating the Ikko clan's forces, unable to continue hunting down the remaining troops.

The Beidou family's army took a short rest. After the military commander confirmed the battle achievements and sorted out the wounded, they quickly evacuated the battlefield.

And all around, the aftermath of the war began.

Various vultures swarmed over the area, while villagers, scavenging from the corpses, plucked battlefield relics that Beidou-kun hadn't had time to collect. Bald "military doctors" dressed in ordinary clothes (mostly quacks) began searching the battlefield for the half-dead and "capable" to treat. The Beidou family rarely spared any survivors, a rare occurrence.

Several military commanders of the Beidou family were too lazy to pay attention to these "vultures" around them. Some of the military commanders who were left behind even saw a few "semi-familiar people" and directly asked them to send the lightly and seriously injured soldiers back to the Oda family's sphere of influence.

The Beidou family's army continued to advance southwest.

————————————————————

In order to resist the attack of the Oda clan, Kitabatake Tomonori moved his residence from Tayunyama Castle to Okouchi Castle.

The situation was now critical—but not too critical.

Because, when Oda Nobuhime's troops were besieging Ōkouchi Castle—Kitabatake Munekuni had unified all the forces in Ise, which hadn't been unified for hundreds of years! He mobilized an army of 17,000 and, at the very gates of Ōkouchi Castle, defeated the Oda clan's besieging army, which was tired and overconfident.

Don't ask how Ise, with 520,000 koku, managed to muster 17,000 men. While this number is sufficient for combat, isn't this a serious waste of resources and an overdraft of national strength? — Don't ask me if I'm overdrafting national strength! If we can't defeat Oda Nobuhime today, I don't need this national strength! If we win, we might explode due to subsequent allocation issues, but if we don't, we'll all die!

no matter what.

Oda Nobuhime's troops in the last autumn rain at Ōkouchi Castle.

Escape in a panic - Oda Nobuhime even thought, "This is so embarrassing... should I just cut it off?"

But, at the most critical moment, a brand new army appeared in the northeast of Okawachi Castle. Leading them was none other than the Seven Stars Banner of the Beidou Clan!

The drip is killing me, overdrawing my vitality, in order to achieve the effect of recovering as quickly as possible.

Chapter 209 Turning the Tide

Oda Nobuhime's early battles were far too easy, given the chaos in Northern Ise and the fragmented nature of the map. Too lazy to even attempt to defeat them one by one, the Oda army essentially acted like Cao Cao, now in a state of disarray. Just as Cao Cao treated the people of Xuzhou, Oda Nobuhime treated the people of Northern Ise the same way. The consequences of this "disarray" were similar: overstaffing and overcommitted forces were, of course, disastrous.

At the gate of Okouchi Castle, Oda Nobuhime's army was defeated and its organization was completely destroyed.

Beidou Xinwei had seen this kind of defeat before, and frankly, he was responsible for most of it. The most notable example was the Okehazama mass murder incident.

But this is the first time that I have really seen that "our army was defeated" and was defeated so badly that even its organization was destroyed.

Ōkouchi Castle was located near present-day Matsusaka City, Japan, but nestled closer to the mountains. The crowed distance to the Owari border was 65 kilometers, but a detour through the mountains would have taken 100 kilometers. Add to that the mountainous terrain and the mud from the last autumn rains before winter. Harassment along the way and other casualties forced Beidou Xinwei to march for three days and three nights. In Total War, each of Beidou Xinwei's troops was "exhausted! The army was exhausted."

But...it's just a debuff.

A forced march of three days and three nights, apart from the unkindness of the laws of physics, was a feat for a feudal army to achieve. Furthermore, this kind of exhaustion was merely “exhausted.”

Tactical map speed: reduced to 0.65x (strategic map is not affected)

Charge bonus: reduced to 0.65

Attack interval: Delayed to 1.5 times

Reload time: delayed to 1.5"

It's not like they can't fight, and according to Beidou Xinwei's "experience," on the tactical map, these troops are standing still. With the aura of a commander, they can basically go from "exhausted" to "energized" in 45 minutes.

Even if you can pull from the northernmost to the southernmost part of Japan and take a 45-minute breather on the tactical map—oh, that's enough! But if you can't reach the tactical map, then take a long break.

Therefore, we must learn to debug system bugs.

"Da da da"

When they were about ten miles away from Okawachi Castle.

Beidou Xinwei seemed to be able to vaguely hear the faint shouts and cries coming from afar.

At a closer distance, Beidou Xinwei saw... some scattered troops.

These troops seemed to have spotted Beidou Xinwei as well. There were about thirty to fifty of them, no formation, no organization, simply running like headless flies. Some of their armor was missing, while others were only partially worn. Some of their weapons were also gone. Several warriors, without helmets to hide their hair, had their hair tangled and tangled, soaked in sweat and tangled into strands that stuck to their faces. They were covered in mud, a sight to behold.

Looking at some of the "finger objects" (flags) that were not removed in time, some have papaya patterns of the Oda family, and some have "Yongle Tongbao" patterns of the Oda family.

"Hmm?" Beidou Xinwei looked at the scene in front of him in surprise.

The other side looked at Beidou Xinwei with even greater surprise. However, this small group of defeated soldiers couldn't possibly "circumvent" them. For one thing, Beidou Xinwei's two thousand-man army was currently marching in battle formation on the hilly terrain surrounding Dahe Nei Castle. To bypass this force would require at least a five-kilometer detour.

Secondly, the defeated army saw the "Seven-Star Flag".

This is the family crest of the Beidou family.

Under the Seven Stars, the "Wu Zi" flag and horse seal were also there—this indicated that Beidou Xinwei himself was among the troops. Running? What the hell? ("To die is honorable, to live is disgraceful" comes from "Wu Zi's Art of War, Chapter 4: On Generals")

"Come here and kneel down." Beidou Xinwei rode out alone, pointing the whip in his hand at the defeated army in the distance.

Just like the Ikko Ikki army that had been completely routed on the battlefield of Mikawa, they had lost the will to resist, ready to be slaughtered. Dozens of defeated soldiers glanced around, then pursed their lips, only to find their voices hoarse. They couldn't clearly hear what Beidou Xinwei was saying, but they could easily understand his gestures.

The defeated soldiers came to Beidou Xinwei with trembling bodies and knelt down one by one.

"How's the battle going?" The scouts sent out by Beidou Xinwei did not come back.

He felt uncertain, wondering if he was just temporarily unable to return. He pointed his whip at one of the leading warriors and said a single word calmly, "Speak."

Sometimes, people just need to be a little cooler and more sophisticated. There's nothing you can do about it. Wear an executive jacket and you'll be in your prime at 40!

"Your Majesty... Your Majesty Settsu-no-kami," the warrior who was named trembled, "Our army, our army began besieging Ōkouchi Castle five days ago. But, but... at dawn today, countless shouts of killing suddenly came from all directions. The enemy also rushed out from the four gates of Ōkouchi Castle and attacked us. We were completely defeated..."

"..."

Beidou Xinwei looked up at the sky and sighed.

"Clearly define the time and place."

"At around 4:00 AM, a fire suddenly broke out outside the camp. Everyone was exhausted after the recent heavy rain, but we really didn't expect the enemy to set a fire! Kerosene was everywhere. We were the ones guarding the food supplies, and when countless people in front of us kept shouting that our army was defeated, we...we just ran away. We did see that the main camp was defeated, but Lord Shibata Katsuie and Lord Sakuma Nobumori in the west castle were still resisting. Lord Sassa Narimasa and Lord Maeda Toshiie had already been defeated..."

"Are the enemy troops only in the city?"

"They're attacking from both inside and outside. We're surrounded by people. Arrows are flying everywhere... They're all crazy, all crazy..."

The warrior answered Beidou Xinwei's questions in a dazed manner, as if waiting to be beheaded.

"Get out of here." Beidou Xinwei said, pointing to the distance, "I will regroup the troops! We can't go back to Owari like this! - Get out!"

"Yes! Thank you, General, for not killing me!" The warrior, having regained his life, instantly stood up, kowtowed on the cold earth, and then, along with the others, got up from the ground and ran happily to the distant assembly point.

Soon, as Beidou Xinwei continued to lead his army forward, he saw in the distance... the defeated Oda army that was like mountains and seas.

This situation is a bit like the Imagawa army in Okehazama a few months ago.

A dark mass rolled in like a dark cloud from the sky. But when everyone saw the large banner of the Hokuto clan and the solemn and orderly advance of the Hokuto army—it seemed as if all the defeated Oda clan troops slowed down for a moment.

Still without any organization, still being slaughtered into white flags, but the mad rush towards the Owari border disappeared, and instead they gathered under the banner of the Hokuto Army.

"Boom! Boom! Boom!"

The sound of drums also indicated the direction for the defeated army to gather.

follow closely.

Among the thousands of defeated soldiers was Oda Nobuhime.

Chapter 210: Supporting the Collapse of the Building

Last time, she thought she had a huge advantage and rushed to attack Kiyosu Castle, but she was tricked. When she returned with the defeated army, Oda Nobuhime was in a miserable state.

However, the army was still in place at that time, but they just didn't win the war, so they could still insist that they didn't lose.

This time was different. Thousands of people were running wildly across the Ise Peninsula, countless people in panic. Those who had knelt before her were now fleeing in panic, as if they didn't recognize her. If it weren't for Ma Kai's personal guards still there, I couldn't imagine what would have happened.

The rout stretched for miles. Some, exhausted from fleeing, were pushed down and trampled to death by those who followed them just as they tried to rest. Some, nearly killed by the shoving, drew their swords and attacked each other—if I can't beat the enemy, I can't beat you!?

But by this time, everything was completely out of control, with no one trying to maintain order. Everyone had to do the same thing: run for their lives! Escape from here, escape this place of failure!

However, a ray of light emerged from the darkness.

On the northern horizon, an army was marching forward. All the defeated troops seemed to quiet down before this army, slowly gathering behind it.

“……?” Oda Nobuhime’s mood at this moment was like riding a roller coaster.

She felt that Beidou Xinwei should still be in Mikawa, or at least on his way from Mikawa to Owari. She had never expected that, even though the troops had advanced rapidly in the past, they had never been so swift.

That's three days of forced marching. If any other army were to cover those few dozen kilometers, they would have finished in fourteen hours. How could such a massive rout have occurred? For a feudal army, that's fine.

"Avi?!" Oda Nobuhime looked at the person in front of her, seemingly unable to believe it. She rode her horse forward quickly and came in front of Beidou Nobu.

There are things I want to say but can’t. I feel embarrassed, aggrieved, and even afraid to meet someone – am I too dirty?
